TTC bus 29...
Oh my goodness to say we are a chatty group is an understatement most times but that’s great cos it’s not all about TTC here, anything goes, we now have a bus with a beautiful panoramic roof seat so a few ppl can pop up on top heads up and out into wind to gulp in the non TTC air but still hold on to us & know where we are...like our pups that come with us with ears flapping in the wind our beloved ladies may have one flap flying in the wind...”watch out for the left outer flap”...someone once shouted to their OH...that might set the tone here nicely.

Get it?! No?! Sometimes nor do we...🙄the chat, the deed, the sperm, the egg, the fact that we aren’t pregnant yet after shagging twelfty millions times a month forever. But we are here for each other, to chat shit, to help each other out the pits or wallow within the pits, for all the highs and lows.

And if you see mention of my blog then blame these guys they made me do it...#shamelessplug

@gem176 @joanna1009 our bodies are mysteriously weird and wonderful aren't they 🤣

So the private scan clinic just called me and said they'd prefer me to go in after 7 weeks as my dates might be slightly wrong... Gahhhh!!!

Joanna1009 · 19/01/2021 11:51

@Minster2012 I mean you may be doing it wrong? Just checking, C's putting the condom on the right thing isn't he? 😂

@Gem176 yep it's the same one from back then! Best recommendation ever!

Minster2012 · 19/01/2021 11:57

Yep right thing @Joanna1009 an "enthusiastic withdrawal" meant the lake still got us...the condom slid off but I guess the day after AF finished there's no chance of a pregnancy anyway so that's not a concern, it's meant to be for infection risk but we quite enjoy the lack of lake spermo...least it was on his side 🤣you'd have thought we'd have got it right by now

OP posts:
Joanna1009 · 19/01/2021 12:02

@Minster2012 as long as it stays on his side! He can be the one to sleep on a towel 😂 the lake would always come from me when it happens here.

Vil10 · 19/01/2021 12:24

@Minster2012 I shouldn't have poked!!

@Gem176 ahh Thankyou!! I'm not giving up all hope just yet but I'm 98% sure it's af!x

@Katao I'll keep my fingers crossed for the both of us!! Think I'm going to test in the morning with an frer x

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/01/2021 12:49

@Joanna1009 send the link for that clit sucker please...need to look into this again 👀
@Vil10 good luck for the morning hun!
@Minster2012 are you using the durex thin ones? They do slip off easily from memory!
@Kirky658 is that another week wait then?

lucyrp · 19/01/2021 12:57

@Kirky658 if you wait until 7 weeks you'll see more anyway as you might even get to see the heartbeat then, at 6 weeks it is just a blob. I'm glad I waited until 8 weeks! 🥺

Kirky658 · 19/01/2021 13:03

@notyetamumbuttrying yep it will be on the 4th Feb so 2 weeks on Thursday.
@lucyrp that's what I am hopeful for eeeee.my bestie and mum said the same earlier.

Just trying to stay positive now. I am 'feeling more pregnant' now than I did first thing this morning 🤣

Vil10 · 19/01/2021 13:04

@notyetamumbuttrying thank you lovely xx

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/01/2021 13:07

@Kirky658 ooh two weeks! Hopefully they'll fly by!
@Vil10 😘

Juno231 · 19/01/2021 13:28

Ooh with the sucker - which ones do you have girls? I had a google the other day for them and they were all over £100 so kinda thought I'll just stick with my bullet thankyouverymuch. But maybe I didn't look hard enough? Or I'm just cheap?

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/01/2021 13:41

@Juno231 that's why I asked for the link again. £100 is far too much imho! X

Minster2012 · 19/01/2021 13:54

@notyetamumbuttrying yes I think that was a durex thin one, we seem to just have problems, last cycle we used boots ones and his knob went through the end thrusting so hard! So that went inside me, right around OV time (in theory) so it's a good thing I'm broken though would've bloody been cheaper 🤣so using durex now and that happened. He went "you shouldn't be so slippy then" INSIDE???

The moral @Vil10 & ladies DON't poke after OV! Wait for a no show of AF!

@Kirky658 surely better at 7 weeks? Heartbeat def I'd say! We'll keep you sane. Try. Anyway follow us all being twats. 🤪

OP posts:
Kirky658 · 19/01/2021 13:57

@minster2012 those durex thin ones are a nightmare!!! Did make me giggle tho. Yep I will be 7+4 when I go for the scan on 4th Feb now so hopefully can see something exciting! And DH can come too which is awesome. I'll happily follow you all being twats 🤣 x

Minster2012 · 19/01/2021 14:00

Good. Well I've just had to run round & upstairs after DS after he ran off with the bloody potatoes for our jacket potatoes later. Fecking hilarious. Not. I could have left him. But then he would have hidden them in a random drawer upstairs or something & I wouldn't have known
Where. And of course the more you chase the more hilarious it is. Not.

OP posts:
Katao · 19/01/2021 14:28

@Vil10 agree with @Minster2012 stop poking! Good luck testing in the morning. I think 11dpo is pretty reasonable. I'm glad I did to stop all the second guessing. No more spotting since either so hopefully won't be too short ofa cycle after all. Actually felt a bit silly yesterday after I calmed down because I got a really strong opk peak this month and had lots of ovulation pain so pretty sure I did ovulate. Think I just saw red in more than one way yesterday 😂
Good luck @LB20xx, are you back with OH tomorrow?
@lucyrp @Kirky658 wow there is a big difference in scan prices isnt there!

Girls we really are a mixed bunch now aren't we?! There seems to be a pretty even split of ttc/ivf/pregnancy chat 😃

Minster2012 · 19/01/2021 14:41

@Katao and some good ol chat shit in between too! Glad you are back with us in vague normality anyway 🤣I have no "normality" I wonder what normality is 🤪

OP posts:
Katao · 19/01/2021 14:45

@Minster2012 I think it's the talking shit that banded us all together in the first place 😂 how are you? Raging ball of estrogen yet? I'm sorry I haven't been reading the blog as struggling enough to keep up here so I'm probably missing parts of your ivf prep.

notyetamumbuttrying · 19/01/2021 14:45

@Minster2012 oh jeez 🙈 no suggestions I can give then 😂
@Kirky658 yay to Dh being able to come too!
@Katao yeah it's nice having a real mixed bunch isn't it. We can all enlighten each other! 😃 glad you're feeling better today x

Birdladybird · 19/01/2021 14:48

Just home from the hospital. They got 9 eggs, of which only 4 were mature Sad it’s like déjà vu from the last time. Fingers crossed the IMSI makes a difference. Got to wait until Friday to find out if we have anything to transfer. Sorry I’ve not replied individually, still a bit groggy and sore from the anaesthetic.

Kirky658 · 19/01/2021 14:58

@minster2012 that sounds like when I have to chase the dog round when he's stolen my knickers.... The more you chase, the more he runs!

@katao yeah there really is, there's another clinic near me offering for £65 but went with the £79 one as my best recommended. Xx

Franklydear · 19/01/2021 15:04

I am not up to date, but @Minster2012 nothing came, so no 4 day cycle, but I still feel iffy, hadn't considered covid, will need to have a think

Ltay2 · 19/01/2021 15:11

Finally caught up on 2 days worth 😂

Not much new to report with me, now 28.5 weeks pregnant and feeling more whale like every day 😩 back is killing, nose is dry and bloody and I'm snoring like a pig so I'm sleeping on the sofa bed (voluntarily I will add) so that OH can sleep as there's no hope for me getting a good sleep either way 🙈 but despite all the complaining I am doing well, almost got all baby stuff bought now, started the washing and organising and ready to give my birth plan and hospital bag some pepper thought!

Hoping to see some BFPs in the next few days from those of you testing soon ❤️🤞🏼

Minster2012 · 19/01/2021 15:11

@Katao I'm a raging ball of something...usually am always, least this way I can blame the oestrogen🤣 nah I'm not too bad yet, touch wood! Just trying to be zen & prepare for womb lining scan next weds (seems awful close already but it's not) eating well, trying to stay zen, hiding from the world & trying to get fluffy womb. Easier said than done with parents against it & worrying bout last time but hey Ho.

@notyetamumbuttrying @Kirky658 yep it's a caper for sure I got the potato back, def the more you chase the more they run. FFS

@Birdladybird I know you are disappointed but it's good, we got similar numbers & they grew on, stay positive girl 😘🥰

@Kirky658 that's really good DH can come! Brilliant

That was meant to say proper thought not pepper, that would be a bit weird 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣
